      Just looked glossy from the angle, but anyway good job.

      Definitely coming along nicely.

        It was a great day for rattle can spraying Saturday, so with the help of my girlfriend, we worked on the car all day to paint it up! She got blisters on her fingers from using the spray cans.
        Here are pictures to speak for them selves!
        My g/f Geraldine prepping the car!

        Me taping it off.

        Next 4 photos are the finished product!!





        I will probably add another coat on the hood and top of the car.
        I will add low profile red pin striping later.

        From the pictures at the top of this page to this! All in all it came out pretty good for a rattle can spray job.

          Looks good! Are you gonna buff it when it drys a few days? How many cans did it take?
          If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

            It took 5 and a half cans. I will not buff it out, I like the industrial type look to it.

            Since the car used to be white I am going to paint the inside door jams and inside doors black also. When I'm all done I will have used 7 cans to paint the whole car.

                That's the best rattle can paint job I've ever seen.

                      Looks great. The red stripes will really set it off.

                        Thanks everyone.
                        My g/f Geraldine is great with a spray can and she showed me some tricks on how to get the paint to lay just right.
